Good morning, Pickswise Nation! We have a strong MLB slate, Wimbledon and PGA Tour golf to entertain us today, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
We cashed Wednesday’s MLB parlay and a same game parlay!
It was a wonderful Wednesday for the Pickswise MLB team, with our parlay (Mets ML, Braves -1.5, Orioles ML) cashing at +558 odds. We also had a win with our Cardinals vs Braves same game parlay (+316)!
The Tigers completed a 4-game sweep of the Guardians (covering the run line in every game) with an 8-2 win, the White Sox beat the Twins 9-8 in the 10th, the Yankees mashed the Pirates 16-0 and the Rays beat the Red Sox 7-1.
Today’s Slate
13-game slate in MLB
The MLB slate is often a little smaller on Thursday, but we have a solid 13-game slate today — with the Pirates and Reds playing a double-header. Angels vs Orioles is live on ESPN+ at 7:05 pm ET. Read today’s MLB game previews.
There’s golf and tennis too
Pickswise golf analyst Diane Knox Balas has had 10/1, 30/1 and 55/1 wins in the last 4 weeks, and there’s still time to check out her picks for the Barbasol Championship. It’s women’s semifinal day at Wimbledon and Ricky Dimon has best bets for both matches.
Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 vs Chicago Cubs
10:10 pm ET
Chicago can’t seem to catch a break, as they faced Corbin Burnes and the Brewers yesterday and today they get the red-hot Tony Gonsolin and the Dodgers. They also have to travel from Milwaukee for this game on the west coast. They did surprisingly well against the Brewers, but the fact that they’re fighting just to stay above the Reds in the division speaks volumes. Chicago’s primary concern has been their pitching. There are just 5 teams with a worse bullpen ERA than them, and just 5 with a worse overall team ERA. Gonsolin held the Padres and Braves to just a single run each in his last 2 starts and the Dodgers haven’t lost with Gonsolin on the mound since mid-May. Check out our full preview for Cubs vs Dodgers.
